Feed Management Solutions

Livestock feed management solutions from Trimble help reduce the cost of producing feed while minimizing the environmental impact to grow it. Trimble offers solutions for any size of operation in order to optimize chopping and the conversion of crop to feed. The better you improve your feed conversion, the higher your profitability.

Bale Scale
Trimble's S1100-A scale system can help farmers accurately weigh and measure feed, hay bales, and stock items that are handled via tractor or skid steer. With weight measurements available to the operator in the cab, farmers can better control the quality, quantity, and cost of hay bales and other stock materials in their operations.

Generate NDVI maps that correlate closely to potential yield which is valuable for budgeting feed requirements.

Irrigation
Trimble’s Irrigate-IQ™ precision irrigation solution can precisely apply the right amount of water, fertigation, or effluent in the right place to ensure you’re doing what’s best for your crop, while minimizing nutrient and chemical runoff.

Use water efficiently to improve quality of feed

Create no spray and variable rate irrigation areas for applying the right amount of water in the right place

Dispose of effluent safely while nurturing your field

Chopping
Accurately steer your chopper with advanced steering capabilities from Trimble, even in areas where the planter drifted. Use additional row guidance to chop in difficult conditions such as down maize/corn, long passes, and poor visibility.

Efficient cutting of crop

Minimize passes which reduces cost

Improve the quality of feed

Data Management
Trimble’s Connected Farm™ solution allows you to collect, share, and manage information using computers, tablets, and smartphones. Data also sends to Farm Works Software® so that you can view your cost per acre or per head of livestock.
